When Cordoba was fighting with Camoranesi in the penalty area and his brow bone was broken, people didn't realize that this would be a brutal hand-to-hand fight. If the brow bone was broken, there would be a lot of blood loss.
There was blood, but in fact the injury was not very serious. After being bandaged, Cordoba quickly returned to the field with a bandage wrapped around his head.
However, five minutes later, Ibrahimovic fell to the ground while fighting with Materazzi in the frontcourt, and the ball was cleared by Cannavaro. When Inter Milan began to fight in the frontcourt and Juventus started to defend,
Ibrahimovic hit Materazzi's forehead with his head, and Materazzi covered his face and lay down...
"Hey, hey, hey, someone from Juventus is attacking my player!" Dick jumped on the court and shouted. The referee DeSantis stopped the game. The players in Inter Milan began to complain about Ibrahimovic's actions.
At that time, DeSantis remained unmoved and simply awarded Inter Milan a free kick in the backcourt...
"You deserve to be kicked out of the refereeing world in the future." Dick cursed in his mind.
Obviously, Ibrahimovic's mentality is very impetuous now, and Dick's previous tactic was to let Materazzi keep an eye on Ibrahimovic. The height and confrontation ability of both sides are almost the same, and Materazzi wants to fight hard.
As expected, Ibrahimovic, who had a bad temper, immediately made such a stupid retaliatory move when he was excited. However, DeSantis lightly exposed the scene...
"Moji is really not idle..." Dick thought secretly in his heart.
Now the game has passed for more than ten minutes. In these ten minutes, the two sides have almost no decent attacks. They are more of crazy pressing and confrontation in the midfield, and they are carrying out the game in an almost hand-to-hand way.
The war of words has aroused the emotions of both sides. However, the players of Inter Milan are smiling and watching the coach show off his power, while the players of Juventus want to lose the war of words on the court.
Find what you lost...
In the first ten minutes, two Inter Milan defenders were attacked by the opponent, which is proof.
Capello couldn't help but feel a little worried. Now Juventus players are obviously playing crazy. This is not in line with Juventus's style. Steady, slow, suppressive, and using millstone-like tactics to defeat opponents is Juventus.
What Tus players are good at, but now this crazy pressing method is very similar to Inter Milan just a few months before the start of this season!
What will be the consequences if Juventus abandons its own characteristics of stability and plays fast attack with Inter Milan? Being known for their stability does not mean that they cannot play fast break, but that also depends on the team they are playing against.
Facing a strong enemy like Inter Milan, if you abandon your own strengths and attack the opponent, the consequences will be...
After thinking of this, Capello became a little unable to sit still. At this moment, Ibrahimovic, who seemed to be very impatient, knocked down Materazzi again when fighting in the frontcourt. At this time, DeSantis also
You can't pretend you didn't see it and showed Ibrahimovic a yellow card.
Capello stood up and shouted twice into the field to help the Juventus players regain their mood. When the Juventus players calmed down a little, Inter Milan suddenly launched a counterattack!
Materazzi passed the ball directly from the backcourt to the frontcourt. Tony jumped high and beat Thuram to top the ball. Adriano got the ball in front of Appiah and then began to choose himself.
Forcibly dribbling the ball to break through, Billindelli and Lello Taglie came up to block Adriano at the same time. Adelaide did not rush to break through by himself, but raised his foot and passed the ball to Perrotta who came up from the wing.
Adriano and Toni both retreated, and Cruz pushed into the penalty area. Perrotta saw Cruz asking for the ball in the penalty area, and immediately raised his foot to pass the ball into the penalty area. The pass was made in a hurry.
Unable to adjust properly, the ball flew directly to the far corner...
If it had been any other goalkeeper, he would have been shocked into a cold sweat by such a lob. However, Buffon was not shaken by this move. He quickly moved two steps, then took off and easily shot the kick.
The hanging door was lifted in the air.
Juventus quickly launched a counterattack. After several passes, Del Piero passed the ball to Nedved who was advancing forward. Nedved shot directly from the front of the penalty area and was used by Cannavaro.
With his body blocking the baseline, Del Piero took a corner kick. Emerson, under the cover of Ibrahimovic, nodded and hit the goal, but was blocked by Zanetti who was guarding the goal post.
These were the only threatening attacks from both sides after the opening twenty minutes.
"Juventus played very fiercely and messily at the beginning, and now they have begun to resume their previous slow and suppressive attack. Inter Milan can't see the mercury-like offense before, but they are constantly attacking in the backcourt.
Through long passes and relying on the personal abilities of several forwards to create opportunities, this style of play is not quite like Dick's play before, but it is very similar to Cooper's play before..."
In his first year at Inter Milan, Cooper almost won the league championship by relying on this simple long pass. However, Cooper was criticized for not winning against strong teams. Now Dick has begun to use this method.
Such a tactic had to make the commentator not optimistic about his choice.
"Who would have thought that he would use such a tactic before? I'm afraid Capello would not have thought of it either. Maybe this is Dick's intention... But it is not difficult to defend this tactic, as long as you pay attention to their forwards.
, Juventus has done pretty well so far, I still need time to observe what Dick’s real intentions are,” the guest replied.
What was Dick's real intention? Capello couldn't guess it, and neither could the guests. However, in fact, Dick just saw that the three forwards were in very good condition, so he used this on a whim.
Their personal ability ensures that this tactic can be used well. They can use the power of three people to suppress the attention of the opponent's four or five defensive players. This makes Juventus' overall offensive tactics to a large extent.
If the performance is not good and the offense is not good, the attackers in the frontcourt such as Ibrahimovic will become more upset. If this continues, the pressure on Inter Milan's defense will be reduced, and the midfielders will be able to better support the three forwards.
Milan's offense may be more advantageous...
What Dick has to do is to break up the chaos. In fact, if Inter Milan's three centers are purely offensive, whether it is coordination or characteristics, the lethality will be amazing enough, because the characteristics of these three forwards are different.
Tony's fight for the top and confrontation, Adriano's breakthrough and impact, Cruz's ball play and bonding, after more than half a season of cooperation, these three people have a tacit understanding of each other.
Cooperation will also have huge lethality!
Even though Juventus' defense is the best in Serie A, Dick has seen their performance in recent rounds of the league. Their defense is declining and their offense is rising, because Capello has to defend Inter Milan and rely on the net win in the end.
The ball overwhelmed Juventus, so in recent games, Juventus has scored more goals and conceded more goals. The two full-backs sent in this game are both good at assists, and the two defensive midfielders
Emerson and Appiah are also better at attacking. Their defense now is definitely not as impeccable as it was at the beginning of the season!
Juventus has scored eight goals in the last two league games, which is more than Inter Milan. However, it has also conceded five goals. With such a scoring and conceding rate, it is like Lecce...
Dick's idea is not wrong. At least at this time, Inter Milan can create a lot of opportunities just by relying on the rushing of these three top forwards in the frontcourt, especially in the first twenty minutes.
Although they were not able to create many opportunities, and Juventus' defense was somewhat lax, once they exerted their strength, they were able to score a steady stream of goals!
In the 22nd minute, Ibrahimovic received a pass from Camoranesi at the front of the penalty area and then turned around and shot a volley. The shot was very powerful, but the angle was somewhat positive. Although Toldo's condition has declined a bit now.
, However, there is no problem in dealing with such a shot. He flew to catch the ball, then threw the ball vigorously, and Inter Milan launched a counterattack!
The ball was passed directly to the feet of Perrotta at the edge of the penalty area. Perrotta did not struggle with the rushing Appiah, but directly passed the ball diagonally to Adriano on the side.
Adriano starts to force a breakthrough along the wing!
When Adriano started dribbling, it was not easy to stop him. Nedved wanted to defend back to stop him, but was blocked by Adriano's body. Although
Nedved was still chasing relentlessly, but could not stop Adriano's progress.
When Adriano dribbled the ball from the right and broke through the center line, Zambrotta also returned to defend. He and Nedvěd clamped down on Adriano, preventing him from moving towards the center.
When Adriano was entangled with the opponent, the Juventus players had already returned to their defensive positions. Adriano saw that he had reached within 30 meters all the way, and he did not want to continue to entangle with the opponent.
, he passed the ball to the side, and then began to sprint forward!
Zambrotta struggled to destroy the ball, but as soon as Adriano's two long legs started running, he was instantly thrown away by half a meter. This distance allowed Adriano to find the target of the cross.
Opportunity, after catching up with the ball, he immediately took off his right foot and passed the ball into the penalty area!
Adriano's cross was very powerful. The ball flew into the penalty area in the air. As soon as Thuram looked up, he knew that the ball was passed backwards...
Thuram wanted to move to the back point to defend, but Toni, who was running in the middle, took two steps laterally, delaying Thuram and Lerottaglie's return to defense. At the back point, Cruz
Already jumping high!
Billindelli, who took off at the same time, was pinned down by Cruz. The next moment, Cruz faced the falling ball and headed the ball towards the top!
Facing the ball coming from behind less than five meters away from the goal, Buffon, who rushed over in a hurry, could not make a save under such circumstances even if he had superb reflexes!
The ball hit the Juventus net hard! One to zero, in the 24th minute of the first half, after a brutal strangulation, Inter Milan, playing away from home, took the lead!
In such a world-famous Italian derby, the first goal scorer was not Inter Milan's two forwards, nor Juventus's Prince Del Piero and Ibrahimovic, who has performed well this season, nor midfield superstar Nedved.
, but among the offensive players on both sides, it is the most inconspicuous Argentine center, Julio Cruz!
A big man who can be called a Juventus killer and scored twice on this field last season!
